Check out the epic 2012 video here – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViY1NF7svS0

With tickets flying out faster than rockets from a space ship, BoomTown have announced that over 70% of their tickets have now been snapped up by the eager beaver, fun-loving town’s folk! With only ‘tier four’ tickets available, tier’s 1, 2, 3 and all teen tickets are fully sold out! Now seems like the best time to reveal that the fancy dress theme will be... Outer Space! Along with the theme BoomTown can outline the plans for 15 new venues and extra terrestrial areas, attractions and adventures.

Known for its fully immersive environment, BoomTown’s theme is not merely reserved for one day of the festival, but provides a starting point for the towns folk to create the character they wish to become for the whole festival. With last year’s theme ruling the town for the entire 4-days and nights, the outfits were outrageous, extrovert and outlandish where every single person added to the overriding atmosphere and escapism of the festival! This year’s Outer Space theme will be no different! With the mothership Arcadia crash landing onsite, strange creatures infesting the surrounding woodlands and mutated vehicles patrolling the landscape, the aliens are walking amongst us and if you can’t beat ‘em, may as well blow up a pair of marigolds, stick them on your head, spray yourself silver and join in!

In addition to the theme, BoomTown devote a lot of time and creativity developing the most interactive playground of them all; a stage for all the crazy characters; a film set for the actor within; a zoo for the unleashed animals, whatever you want to call it, BoomTown is a place like no-other! This year there will be 15 more bonkers venues springing up across the various streets of BoomTown: hidden deep in the underbelly of Downtown, propping up the rickety walls of Oldtown and gracing the marbled streets of May-fair Avenue, each just waiting with a whole array of new secret shenanigans to be uncovered...

As well as the addition of 15 new quirky and unique venues to get lost in, there are a selection of additional stages including Arcadia, Bearded Kitten’s Bank and the Hidden Woods. Already announced, Arcadia have been flat out devising their biggest show to date to include huge whirlwind fire shows, gravity defying suspended artists, electrifying lightening duels and more smoke, metal and lasers than ever before!

Bearded Kitten presents...The Bank, BoomTown are thrilled to welcome the award winning Bearded Kitten back into the fold! After the rip roaring success of last year’s tip top night spot, The Gentleman’s Club, 2012 sees The Bearded Boys hosting a plethora of lawn-based mischief all day in their brand new outdoor arena and unveil the grand opening the very first branch of the Boomtown bank! Expect array of financial fun, games, activities and general silliness followed by late-night knees-ups in the Gentleman’s parlour!

The Hidden Woods stage, set in the glorious leafed canopy of the surrounding woodland tucked away from the chaos, will present some of the finest live dub and reggae bands and provide the perfect place to sit back, relax and lose yourself!

On top of the new stages, the town committee have been given the go ahead to expand the city into a huge luscious new area for more camping, with access to the town being only a short walk along the beautiful wooded walkway. The ever growing craft and healing field has also expanded this year with new additions including saunas, hot tubs, psytrance and chillout areas. 

At the same times as building the sets, town planning and concocting fancy dress outfits, the BoomTown crew have also been busy adding to the already bursting line-up and can now give a sneaky teaser that the ultimate secret headline act is locked in for Sunday night, but the anticipation will have to grow as their lips are sealed until July! 

Boom Town is rapidly turning into Boom City and the 2012 fair is set to be on a whole new level of Madness!

BoomTown 2012 is over the weekend of 9 – 12^th August, for more info or to buy tickets please visit: www.BoomTownfair.co.uk

Poly Styrene - "Ghoulish" remixed by Hercules & Love Affair

 Future Noise Music will release a single for Poly Styrene’s “Ghoulish” on 7 August.  The single includes a pulsating remix by Hercules and Love Affair and will be available at iTunes and all digital retailers.

‘Ghoulish’ is one of the outstanding results of the torrential creative relationship which sparked between Poly and producer Youth, here hot-wiring New York’s 60s girl group sound with sparkling future-sheen and swooping sonic sheets to produce a new strain of spectacular, 21st century pop music.

In something of a coup, the single comes with a remix from the renowned Hercules & Love Affair, aka Andy Butler, who drapes Poly’s vocals over an exquisite Moroder-meets-acid house super-groove, with cliff-hanger drop and voluptuous peaks. The fact that one of dance music’s most revered names can obviously revel in turning what started as one of Poly’s observations into a post-apocalyptic disco anthem speaks further volumes about the lady who started as the original punk misfit and now rests alongside the all-time greats. Hear it here:

http://soundcloud.com/polystyrene/poly-styrene-ghoulish-hercules

The video for the track , which takes  place at a casting for Michael Jackson impersonators. Watch it here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Un67petByJw

 Although music lost one of its most uniquely idiosyncratic legends, when Poly Styrene tragically succumbed to cancer in April, she had thankfully finished recording her Generation Indigo album before being diagnosed, giving her take on the 21st century, in similar fashion to her uncannily clairvoyant X-Ray Spex missives of the punk era.

50 cent to play I want my MTV at Amnesia Ibiza

 

'89 was the Summer of Love,
but 2011 is definitely the Summer of RAP!

It's the year of Hip Hop on the white Isle this year. The home of clubbing and dance music has opened its doors and stages to some of the biggest names in Urban and Rap this Summer, mostly thanks to pioneering moves by MTV, who recently brought Snoop Dogg to make his debut Ibiza performance at Amnesia.

Following the cancellation of Duran Duran's Summer tour due to Simon Le Bon's illness...MTV were left with a momentary gap in their calendar of events for this Summer's I Want My MTV Ibiza parties. However after much speculation, MTV naturally pulled in the big guns to fill the bill and there's possibly no bigger replacement than multi platinum selling American Rapper 50 Cent!

In keeping with MTV's Summer music programming in Ibiza, this will be the first time 50 Cent has performed on the Island. With over 30 million record sales worldwide, he'll be performing an intimate gig to 6,000 people at Amnesia for I want my MTV Ibiza this Friday 12th August. Mark Ronson, who headlined live at the club at the end of July will be providing DJ support.

It's been one of the most spectacular Summers at Amnesia, with some of the biggest stadium stars of America performing live for the very first time on the Island. If you want to get In "Da Club" tickets are available now for 50 euros not cents from www.mtvibiza.com

Music DANSETTE JUNIOR, CARPETFACE & AUDIBLE, ARTHUR BAKER, SHOVELL, SAMIR, DJ YUNIQ, TWIZZY & CREW

Fashion FELDER FELDER, SASHA MOON

Thursday 11th August

From 20.00hrs/ ATZARÓ

EXPO: 8th-20th August

Ibiza, August 2011 (FIX Ibiza).- August 2011 (FIX Ibiza).  Most events worth their salt take time to establish themselves on the map of Ibiza. Then, there are those that just work from day one. URBAN IN IBIZA, the art-fashion-music-style fusion is clearly of the latter breed. As it heads into its third year, URBAN IN IBIZA and the people behind it are already gearing themselves for what promises to be, yet again, one of the firm highlights of the Ibiza Summer Season.

As the concept continues to grow, so too does the URBANization of Ibiza. First launched in 2009 by Paul Dizzy Saunders with collaboration from the offset from one of the UK’s most established urban artists, Tom Inkie Bingle, the initial idea to present the hybrid exhibition of street art, music and fashion seemed alien to many on an island of electronica, and there were those who doubted it would make much of an impact on the Ibiza calendar. But impact it did, with Sant Joan’s adorable agroturismo Atzaró, packed to the gills with graffiti and street art enthusiasts of all ages and nationalities.

ART Now, three years down the line and Saunders is back with an even bigger showcase of urban contemporary art from artists including Goldie, Alec Monopoly, Liliwenn, David Walker, Chu, George Morton-Clark, Xenz, Kid Acne, Ben Allen and Ben Slow, amongst many, many others.

Once again this year, live painting will play a crucial part in the event with Inkie, Zeus and Fin Dac forming part of that team.

The collective of more than 20 artists will be exhibiting their work at  Atzaró from the 8^th til 20^th of August, offering collectors the opportunity to purchase their desired pieces. On the night itself, buyers will also have the opportunity to partake in the silent auction.

Prices range from 150€ - 10,000€.

MUSIC Providing this year’s soundtrack, welcome back DANSETTE JUNIOR, whose debut appearance at Urban in Ibiza in 2010 had the crowd quite literally begging for more. The brainchild of singer/producer/songwriter Will Hunt, Dansette Junior have certainly been working it since their last performance at Urban In Ibiza, with a huge number of summer festival performances under their belt, as well as being highlighted as XFM’s Eddy Temple- Morris’ favourite band of 2010.

Also on the bill, it’s CARPETFACE + AUDIBLE, a hip-hop-happening duo from UK, who come armed with a refreshingly upbeat and entertaining mc/beatbox/scratching/live looping and percussion set over original backing tracks. Old School or No School!

On the decks- hang on to your sun-hats- headliner ARTHUR BAKER, best known for his work with the Godfather of HipHop himself, Afrika Bambaataa and New Wave meets electronica legends, New Order, will be making one of his only Ibiza appearances this summer.  He’ll be joined by DJ Samir, Yuniq, Shovell + Twizzy so dancing shoes are most definitely advised…

FASHION Making the al fresco runway in the beautiful grounds of Atzaró look even more than gorgeous, FELDER + FELDER bring their latest collection to the island for its debut outing in Ibiza. The London based fashion label by twin sisters Daniela and Annette Felder has developed a cult following in a matter of only a few years, with a signature style a feminine rock and roll aesthetic, which was quickly embraced by singers and actresses, including Rihanna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Florence and the Machine and Allison Mosshart.

Added to that, Urban in Ibiza is pleased to bring SASHA MOON back to its catwalk to present her latest collection. If last year is anything to go by, expect style and sexiness with a side order of sass…

THE PROMOTER Commenting on the overall event, bossman Dizzy Saunders said that “In a typical Urban in Ibiza move, what we’ve done for 2011 is to bring back the best from last year and add in some super new elements to the event. We want to show both sides of the coin, the established artists and not so established.. the art exhibition this year is really looking good right now; we have a list of artists that quite honestly, it would be hard to beat. And that goes for the music as well as the art; a legend like Arthur Baker playing alongside a new talent like Twizzy? Bring it on…”.

Now Then and Mind On Fire Showcase at Dulcimer Manchester

Now Then Manchester teams up with Mind On Fire to showcase live music from DANNY DRIVE THRU, DAYSE & AVER and VIEKA.

Local arts and music blog Now Then Manchester will continue its monthly stint at Chorlton-cum-Hardy’s Dulcimer bar on Thursday 11^th August by collaborating with promoters-turned-record label Mind On Fire.

Soul and hip hop influenced producer Danny Drive Thru is the event’s headliner, neatly coinciding with his new 7” single release via Mind On Fire Recordings. Two tracks, ‘Psychedelia Smith’ and ‘Violence Makes’ are featured on vinyl available for the first time on the night, but the live performance promises anything from an eclectic array of samples, clips and synthetic beats.

Joining Danny Drive Thru will be Dayse & Aver, a pairing formed as a splinter group from Manchester hip hop collective The Natural Curriculum, and Vieka, a trip hop act whose electronic sampling orchestra moulds succinctly with unwavering percussive rhythms.

The website features tracks from a wide variety of Mancunian musicians and producers all doing their own thing. Unrestrained by genre, MOF features artists from Hip Hop to Alt Rock, Jazz and Funk to Electronica. Genre is of no importance, but the quality is consistent.

Now Then Manchester's events at Dulcimer (Wilbraham Road, Chorlton, M21 0AE) operate on a pay-what-you-like basis in order to maintain access for all while encouraging discovery of and support for local arts & music. Dulcimer is a stone’s throw away from the new tram service from Manchester to Chorlton-cum-Hardy.

It’s incredible to think that we could be in the top 5 biggest Pride’s in the UK in only our second year. I can’t wait to see the Waterfront and the Gay Quarter come to life with colour, music and fun once more. This Saturday is going to be such a special day for the whole community and we want everyone to enjoy it no matter what your sexuality.

Cllr Steve Radford, Chairman of the Liverpool Gay Business Association said:

On 6th August everyone is welcome to join Liverpool Pride festivities! The LGBT communities are ourselves diverse and will bring different and contrasting styles to contribute to the day. However one message that we all want to make loud and clear is that prejudice and hatred has no place in our great city.  Liverpool is a city that celebrates diversity and values all our residents and wishes to see everyone aspire to the best of their abilities. Yes we in the LGBT communities have suffered in the past and yes we still no doubt face challenges, but these challenges we face together and with confidence in both ourselves and our city. We hope to see you all on this magnificent day!

Six D to headline Liverpool Pride Festival 2011

SIX-D, the world’s first street dancing pop band are to headline Liverpool Pride 2011.

Organisers of Liverpool Pride announced today that SIX-D, will headline the festival, which will take place at Liverpool’s Pier Head on Saturday 6^th August. 

Six D’s high-octane first single, 'Best Damn Night', was released yesterday and is expected to shoot up the charts as it has already had massive radio airplay and their rhythmic slice of pulsing, party-centric R’n’B flavoured fun is proving popular in clubs too.

See the official video here and watch out for their debut album which will be released later this summer.

Six D are a twelve legged streetdance crew who sound as good as they look. And they look amazing. If you’re looking for the Future of Pop, then you’ve come to the right place.

With an average age of 21 - aside from baby of the band, 15 year old world champion street dancer Levon de Silva - sassy lead singer Chantelle Bernard, worldly wise Kieran Edmonds, outspoken Cassie MacMillan, cool Pierre Angus and edgy Kimmy Campbell are the most thrilling thing to happen to the UK pop world in a long, long time.

The super-talented Six D have been working with Laurieann Gibson creative director and choreographer du jour who counts Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj as clients. Turning down 99% of acts offered to her, Six D impressed Laurieann so much that she immediately agreed to collaborate with her first ever UK act.

Signed by Jive Records at the beginning of 2010, the six young members of this exciting British group are the best of the best. Joining movies like Streetdance 3D and Step Up, and the triumph of acts such as Diversity on Britain’s Got Talent, Six D are the latest addition to the global vogue for street dance.

Six D join the flower-tastic acts alongside soul and disco diva Kym Mazelle, the one and only Rowetta, club sensation Nikki Bell and House of Suarez who will give a taste of the Death by Glitter Vogue Ball, which will take place later this year. The day will end on a high with a dramatic balloon release across the river Mersey and a glittering finale from a number of local performers.

A full line up can be found at www.liverpoolpride.com
